The goldfinch is a beautiful bird with an exquisite song.
Goldfinch
Jewelled plumes glowing bright
flashes of red, white and gold
adorning the trees

Graceful Harebell
Graceful Harebell
Your delicate bonnet of baby blue,
An iridescent glow from misty hues.
Head bows down to hide your face,
You quiver and tremble with gentle grace.
Summer breezes allow you to dance,
You hold my gaze in a spellbound trance.

Butterflies
Butterflies
Adorning the sky
like tiny fires burning
lighting up our world.

I filmed this peacock butterfly in the garden while, enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.
The Dawn Chorus
I decided to write this post in celebration of the amazing dawn chorus
If you are feeling anxious about life’s circumstances and find it difficult to sleep, follow these four steps:
Make a warm drink
Sit in your favourite chair
wrap yourself in a cosy blanket
Open the window wide
Wait for the dawn chorus
Feel your anxiety fade away, while you listen to Nature’s special gift.
The Chorus at Dawn
May is the month to cherish each year,
with the dawn chorus, birds love to share.
From breaking light, they start their trill,
This blissful choir, through the air so still.
The blackbird and robin start their call,
With many followers big and small.
They fill the meadow with tunes, so sweet,
An orchestral performance could not compete…
